Loved this volume! My one critique (read: bitching) is the “anime fan/otaku is a child rapist” trope. Like, c’mon, really?
I love the main duo, and while some saw Inoue as a misogynistic portrayal because she’s the “only one with emotions” (which ignores the victims and their boss), I saw her as our “straight man” of the story. Everyone else has their nose to the grindstone, and she has the wherewithal to stop and go “Hey, wtf?” We (usually) need someone like that in a story.
Finally, I don’t understand how Inoue did not become infected, nor do I really understand why Mizoguchi and Kurokawa could “control” the worms, or prevent them from causing brain damage by “controlling their desires.” I wish that had been explored more.
Sad to see it end so soon, I think we could get a lot of mileage out of this premise! And I want to see how our main pair manage through it. 4 stars!
